This is fascinating but off topic and uncomfortably likely to be morphed into politics. I've moved this and strongly urge any repliers to keep comments away from the politics and only offer elucidation or additional references or legal critique, for that matter.

They are perhaps the leading legal reference site in the US. Many Universities use them, too.

I have complained about the poverty of our educational institutions for some time - so that has little sway.

cornell has a great site to look up law and if you pay you have findlaw and lexis - so like in trading, you dont always get what you want if you only look for the free items.

I believe the supreme court will also have files, perhaps still on microfiche however.
